Some may be surprised that Mojang didn't think of this first, but a Minecraft YouTuber has managed to put babies into the blocky game. Then again, given that the diaper-wearing infant cries, runs away, vomits, and even has some cursed animations, maybe it's a good thing the developer didn't code them in after all. Being a game with near-infinite replay value, Minecraft has truly stood the test of time, with millions of players from all walks of life getting as much joy as they can out of this once-indie title.
Despite the fact that the game came out in 2011, or 2009 for those who count the alpha build, Minecraft players are still discovering new things. But even without discoveries and the vast landscape rife with exploration potential, it's the powerful building mechanics that keep fans coming back time and time again. There are endless ways to get creative within the game, so it's not surprising that it's still going strong after all these years. But things don't end there, as it's also possible to create mods that only enhance the experience even further.
Take the latest video from YouTuber Fundy, as an example. The popular Minecraft content creator is once again showing the many ways the game can be played around with outside its official build. In this instance, they've coded a blocky baby, but this isn't just an ordinary baby. While it walks and cries like the real thing, it's also been programmed to vomit uncontrollably, float in the air, spin its head 360 degrees, and other cursed things. It gets even more chaotic when Fundy asks friends to "babysit" the child, which results in a series of comical mishaps worthy of a cheap sitcom. It's all amusing stuff, but it also shows the YouTuber's creativity.
Anyone who's familiar with Fundy will already be aware of their modding capabilities. They've managed to do all sorts of interesting things, such as create a horror-themed Pac-Man game within Minecraft, make a gigantic version of Tetris, and other impressive custom creations.
With its literal deconstruction of open worlds, not to mention the very distinctive visuals, Minecraft is a force to be reckoned with in the AAA gaming landscape. Starting life as a small project developed by one person, the game has grown to become a juggernaut in the industry and is considered one of the most successful games in history, with much of this success owed to the endless creativity it affords.
Minecraft is available on Mobile, PC, PS3, PS4, Switch, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
